One page · Every caregiver needs a copy
My Child's Profile
The babysitter arrives. The new teacher asks how to help. Grandma is watching for the week. You explain your child's nervous system from scratch. Again. Because there's nowhere it's written down.
Fill out this one page once. It tells every caregiver exactly what your child needs — their triggers, their warning signs, what helps, what makes it worse, and the exact words to use.
Print it. Hand it over. Stop explaining from scratch every time.

How it works
Three steps.
Done.
Done.
This isn't a worksheet. It's a handoff tool. The goal is a caregiver who doesn't have to ask you anything.

Section by section
Everything a caregiver needs.
On one page.
On one page.
01
The Basics & Language
Name, age, and the regulation number they typically sit at before hard situations — "usually a 3 on school mornings." Plus their own word for overwhelm: "I'm exploding," "my cup is full," "I'm done." Caregivers need this language to meet your child where they are.
So every caregiver speaks the same language as your child.
02
Triggers & Early Warnings
Not just categories — specific situations. Not "loud noises" but "loud unexpected alarms like fire drills." Plus the early warning signs only you know: the face they make, the way their voice changes, what they do right before things escalate.
So the caregiver catches it at a 2 — not a 5.
03
In-the-Moment Action Plan
What helps most — use this first, before talking or problem-solving. The exact scripts that land: "I see you. I'm staying close." And the things that make it worse: "don't ask why," "no physical touch right now."
So the caregiver knows what to do instead of guessing.
04
Communication & Care
How to enter the room. How to repair after the storm. And one field no printable ever includes: one thing only a parent would know. "He needs to be the one to initiate the hug." "Silence for 20 minutes is normal — it's not defiance."
So the caregiver has context your child can't explain themselves.
The pro tip
Fill it out once.
Use it forever.
Use it forever.
Once filled out, take a photo on your phone. That way you always have it ready — at pickup, at drop-off, when the new babysitter arrives at 6pm and you have 4 minutes. You don't explain it. You hand it over.
